Your respect and regard for Pa Law come through clearly. This is the most endearing part of the story. He seems not to be approachable with reasonable explanations, but that doesn't stop you from listening to him and respecting him.
There isn't a lot to this story, and yet we find ourselves liking both characters. You manage to inject a bit of amusement in the piece. That's pleasant also.
Thank you for sharing this experience with us, @cypher09. It was fun meeting Pa Law.
